Gary! You have a keg and sack of ripe idaho potatoes (not some processed stuff) coming! Do we have a deal?


Seriously, take the cost of materials and labor (mixing plaster, etc. based on a full rate) and triple it. Take the time to develop the cartoon, studies, prepwork and apply your usual rate to it then double that. Add those two numbers and an additional 20% (profit).
You got your base cost should be around $3-$4 big ones (USD). As far as I was told retail/wholesale does not apply to the artwork so the cost of the piece in the gallery - granted they take 30% (if you are a "big" guy) to 70% (if you are desperate) - I've heard of one gallery in Manhattan that are as greedy as to take 80% conducting 6-7 digit price tags for some of their artists.
Anyway after you add "gallery commission" you will be around 6-9K (pick a number) regardless selling through the gallery or from the studio.

"Commercial interruption" -
On a side line it all looks exciting in a theory but in reality we should keep our "chips comin'"
So how about my offer?

PS. It is not related directly, but i would appreciate your take on this
